Earth Day

Today is a day that is spent in honor of preserving the fragile planet we live on. It's a day to be thankful that our Earth was made to sustain something beautiful called life. Earth Day is a day to show we care about the world and that we will fight to maintain its wonders. Take a moment to do something that shows you care about protecting our environment and keeping our planet clean and healthy. Go ahead and pick up some trash on the sidewalk or even take shorter showers (however hard that might seem. trust me, I would know). As for me, I tried to help in little ways such as turning off the water while I'm brushing my teeth and only washing my laundry if it's a full load. Join the cause by doing your part.

Also, by purchasing our earrings, you are promoting recycled items used in everday life. It's a great way to get started in creating a better life for us all.

Have a happy, green Earth Day!

There is More to "Pretty"

I was making a couple of beads from magazines and I stumbled upon a great quote that I thought represented me and the earrings I create for our cause:

Great design is not about making something pretty. Great design is about making something well. Making it by hand. Making it affordable and livable. Making it custom or on demand. Making it in ways that sustain the planet we all share and bring style to the corner of it that you call home. 

- Ethan Allen

I think it's great how it says that making something, like our jewelry, is not only about the outside, but also the depth within the item that makes it special. It's the thought put into it and the values it holds that makes it unique. I think the quote is exactly what our earrings are; made by hand, custom, affordable, and stylish. Great design is our passion and priority, because it is the difference between something nice and truly beautiful. It can be classic, contemporary, formal, or funky. But most importantly, it helps our planet by making it a better place one step at a time.
